The name of the spot triggered me to re-visit some shot from 2021 and to re-edit it using Dt instead of Lightroom. Best wishes from Flensburg area.

I like this one! Would love know how you processed it to get that artwork-like effect.
Oh I love this tree!
I took a few pictures of it last year in different lighting conditions, great fun.
Best wishes

I did not do very much. That’s the raw without any correction in darktable.
There are twigs in foreground and I used a long lens. So some increase in exposure and sharpness and a little color grading and that’s basically it.

Been doing a few panos. Both processed with dt4.2 and stitched using Microsoft ICE. (free, discontinued, but not open source - hope that’s ok! 
)
I’ve been sticking to a 30mm prime (on APS-C so equiv. 45mm) quite lot recently, and a pano is a nice way to get a wider view and get more detail at the same time 
Cooma
And yet more big skies!

I think we’re all free to use our choice of tool, whatever it may be. At the moment, for example, I’m (more) using Affinity Photo for retouching, stacking, stitching, etc than GIMP, Hugin and such. But I can’t guarantee I’ll not change at some future point. FTR I do use FOSS for almost everything else, though.

It is like our weather today. I need to commute home now (~2 hour journey) - otherwise I won’t be able to sleep in my own bed!
PS - it took 5 hours! Full story here: Work, life and other detours [II] - #61 by afre.

One from last Sunday, out at Seafield Beach, near Kirkcaldy, in the Kingdom of Fife, Scotland.
I had hoped to have a play with my new Lee Big Stopper, however I was finding the images came out pretty soft, despite focussing the camera before switching to manual focus then inserting the Big Stopper into the Filter Holder
Anyway, I did come out with a few sharp(ish) images, without using the Big Stopper. So I thought I’d give the fake “motion blur seascape” effect. A combination of Dartkable to basic editing to the raw file, then into Gimp for motion blur effect, dropping a masked out version of the image showing just the birds on the rocks as a top layer.
Possible not Photographic Association Competition Award Winning, but a fun bit of practice in Gimp.

Not award-winning, but it speaks to me loud and clear. 
Image looks best small. Starts hurting my eyes when enlarged.

Interesting…ICM without the ICM!

This is a lucky snapshot of our old lady “Fluffy”. She is about 15y old and has a little portrait (edit: not a portrait, but a silhouette of me holding the cam and) of my son in her eye.
edit: here is closeup of my noisy EOS 80D:

Fluffy is a pretty lady! Nice shot of a beautiful cat. I love the clarity and gloss of her eyes.

Nice to meet you, Fluffy. I’m Morwenna, and I’m 6 years old. Like you I have a tri-color coat, which can translate as “calico”, and like any other calico on Earth I’m a female. We share a common color space (although not the RGB space) so we definitely should be friends.

Sorry about uploading multiple shots, which are:
- not new
- not mine.
My daughter took them last March (she was not yet 14 at the time). She is great at drawing, but is shy to share her work. She rarely takes photos (she has her own Canon G15, which she rarely uses). On this trip, she asked if she could borrow my D7000, and took lots of photos, including these, and, much to my surprise, she asked me if I’d upload them here for her. So here they go.
